Have you ever felt like you just wanted to get away from everything? Like an escape from reality? A desire to leave the places that you felt trapped in? I have. At 33, I walked out of prison after serving 12 years for bank robbery and drug dealing. But freedom wasn’t as simple as stepping outside the prison gates. With nothing but a restless spirit and a hunger for freedom and truth, I dropped everything and drove across America for six years, searching for something greater than myself.
 
I lived in everything from cars and RVs to abandoned buildings and, at my lowest, a cardboard box in New York. I nearly froze to death in the back of a U-Haul in Pontiac. I bathed in gas station sinks, worked factory jobs, picked up trash and made my way to the top of mountains. Eventually, I was forced to confront my past. Instead of running, I put my story on paper. If I Make My Bed in Hell: Chestertown, Home of the Ouija Board. My first book became an Amazon bestseller, proving that even the darkest roads can lead to redemption.

But this book isn’t about my past. Foxes Have Holes, Birds Have Nests is about the journey that came after—the raw, unfiltered truth of what it means to seek purpose when the world offers none. Each chapter takes you to a different state, a different struggle, and a different revelation. More than a travel memoir, this is a testimony of survival, faith, and the relentless pursuit of something real.
